Bang... I heard the sound of gun fire. I rushed into the room. Adolph Hitler was dead. He had shot himself in the right temple. The pistol lay by his side, a picture of his mother lay in his palm. His wife Eva was lying dead next to him, a bottle of poison in her hand. It had been given to her by Hitler. I knew that this poison worked because Hitler had tested it on his favorite dog. One of my friends and I carried Hitler and Eva to Chancellery Garden. When we got there I poured gasoline on the two, lit the bodies and watched them burn merrily. Then, I took the bodies to the nearest shell crater. Then, we buried them together.
-Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels
Adolph Hitler was born in Austria in 1889. His father, whom died when Hitler was fourteen was 23 years older than his mother. She died 4 years after him. Hitler fought in World War I where he gained some military experience. When Hitler managed to convince the Nazi's that he would be a great leader he used them to take over the government and become the leader of Germany. During his time as a leader he publicly burned thousands of books written by Jewish, Marxist and other subversive people on May 10 1933. Later, during World War II, he had been responsible for the death of more then 46 million Europeans. 6 million of the dead were Jewish, up to 250,000 were Gypsies and 1.5 million were children. In addition, Hitler targeted homosexuals, communists and other political dissidents, slaves, Jehovah's Witnesses, dissidents, some Protestant pastors and Catholic priests, black people, the mentally and physically disabled.
Colonel Staffenberg
Before Hitler killed himself he went into a rage. This rage was the likes of his officers had never seen before. This rage was about Hitler's counter attack failing. His counterattack failed because the SS never attacked when they were supposed to.
It is time I realized. As had been voiced in a meeting earlier today, "The assassination must be attempted, whatever the cost." This statement had been voiced by one of my friends and fellow conspirators. The Nazi's were getting close to finding out our names and families. We have to strike now before it is to late. I am the one who will place the bomb under Hitler's meeting table and hopefully end this accursed war once and for all. I am astounded that we were able to pull off modifying Operation Valkyre right under Hitler's nose!!! Operation Valkyrie had been approved by Hitler in case allied bombing happened in Germany. I heard a rumor that members of the reserve army, including members of the kreisau circle modified the plan and decided to assassinate Hitler and a few others. the others included, Herman Goering and Heinrich Himmler, the rumor is mostly true.
It is the 20th of July, 1944. It is time to assassinate Hitler.
I have placed a bomb in a brief case under Hitler's meeting table. Hitler should be dead in ... 20 minutes.
No, no! Hitler......he's.....not dead. NO!! Apparently a Colonel had moved it to the other side of the wooden table leg!! We were so close! The bomb had even shredded Hitler's pants. It hadkilled the Colonel and three other men. It also injured HItler's right arm and caused other minor injuries.

this is about the end of Hitlers life. By: Nick Miller and Carley Barto

The End of Hitlers Life first draft:
Hitler was born born in Austria in 1889. His father was23 years older than his mother. His fatherdied in 1903 and his mother died 4 years later.Hitler had a little military experience from fighting in World War I. When he became the leader of the Nazi's he publicly burned thousands of books written by Jewish, Marxist and other subversive people on May 10 1933.
In his life he had been responsible for the death of more then 46 million Europeans. 6 million of these were Jewish, Up to 250,000 were Gypsies and 1.5 million were children. In addition, Hitler targeted homosexuals, communists and other political dissidents, slaves, Jehovah's Witnesses, dissidents, some Protestant pastors and Catholic priests, black people, the mentally and physically disabled, and others.
on the 20Th of July, 1944 there was a failed attempt of assassinating Hitler. The plot was created as a modification of the operation Valkyrie. Operation Valkyrie had been approved by Hitler in case allied bombing happened in Germany. members of the reserve army, including members of the kreisau circle modified the plan and decided to assassinate Hitler and a few others. the others included, Herman Goering and Heinrich Himmler. Hitler's death was the only way to free German soldiers from their oath to Hitler. One of the high ranking rebel Germans said "The assassination must be attempted, whatever the cost." He said this because Hitler and the Nazi's were getting close to finding out who the rebels were. Colonel Claus Von Staffenberg, the rebel leader, was instrumental in this assassination attempt. Colonel Staffenberg placed a bomb in a brief case by Hitler. The bomb did go off,but a Colonel had moved it to the other side of the wooden table leg. The explosion killed the coloneland three other men. But sadly itonly shredded Hitlers pants. The bomb injured his right arm and caused other minor injuries.
Before Hitler killed himself he went into a rage. This rage was the likes of his officers had never seen before. This rage was about Hitler's counter attack failing. His counterattack failed because the SS never attacked when they were supposed to.
In 1945 Adolf Hitler committed suicide by shooting himself through the mouth with a pistol. While his wife Eva died from drinking poison(which Hitler gave to her). This poison he had tested on his dog. he carried his mothers photograph wherever he went after her death and it is claimed, he had it in his hand when he died. When they were both dead, two of his soldiers carried their bodies to Chancellery garden. There they pouredgasoline over their bodies then burned them. The remains were buried in a shell crater. (it was less digging)
In his life he had been responsible for the death of more then 46 million Europeans. 6 million of these were Jewish, Up to 250,000 were Gypsies and 1.5 million were children. In addition, Hitler targeted homosexuals, communists and other political dissidents, slaves, Jehovah's Witnesses, dissidents, some Protestant pastors and Catholic priests, black people, the mentally and physically disabled, and others.
Allied bombing began to have a telling effect on German industrial production and to undermine the morale of the population. As disaster came closer, Hitler buried himself in the unreal world of the Fuhrerbunker in Berlin, clutching at fantastic hopes that his "secret weapons," the V-1 and V-2 rockets, would yet turn the tide of war. on 19 March 1945 Hitler ordered the destruction of what remained of German industry, communications and transport systems. Hitler committed suicide, shooting himself through the mouth with a pistol.
When he was eighteen Hitler received an inheritance from his father's will. With the money he moved to Vienna where he planned to become an art student. Hitler had a high opinion of his artistic abilities and was shattered when the Vienna Academy of Art rejected his application. He also applied to the Vienna School of Architecture but was not admitted because he did not have a school leaving certificate. In 1907 Klara Hitler died from cancer. Her death affected him far more deeply than the death of his father. He had fond memories of his mother, carried her photograph wherever he went and, it is claimed, had it in his hand when he died in 1945.
By late 1944, the Red Army had driven the Germans back into Central Europe and the Western Allies were advancing into Germany. Hitler realized that Germany had lost the war, but allowed no retreats. He hoped to negotiate a separate peace with America and Britain.In April 1945, Soviet forces attacked the outskirts of Berlin. Hitler's followers urged him to flee to the mountains of Bavaria to make a last stand in the National Redoubt. But Hitler was determined to either live or die in the capital.
On 23 April, Joseph Goebbels made the following proclamation to the people of Berlin:
I call on you to fight for your city. Fight with everything you have got, for the sake of your wives and your children, your mothers and your parents. Your arms are defending everything we have ever held dear, and all the generations that will come after us. Be proud and courageous! Be inventive and cunning! Your Gauleiter is amongst you. He and his colleagues will remain in your midst. His wife and children are here as well. He, who once captured the city with 200 men, will now use every means to galvanize the defense of the capital. The Battle for Berlin must become the signal for the whole nation to rise up in battle...
By the end of the day on 27 April Berlin was completely cut off from the rest of Germany.
Hitler was fully responsible for the order for the mass executions in Poland in 1939 and 1940. He was also actively engaged in setting up plans for a Jewish reservation in Poland and he backed the Madagascar plan. He was continually preoccupied with further deportations and deportation plans. In 1941 Hitler ordered the extermination of the Jewish-Bolshevist intelligentsia and the elimination of every potential enemy in the occupied Eastern territories. He was fully aware of mass executions of Jewish civilians in these territories.
In mid September 1941 Hitler ordered the beginning of mass deportations from Germany to ghettos in Eastern Europe.
Was he economically motivated, an opportunist who went into politics because he needed to make a living?
Did the international political situation, the international pressures on Germany, and its international reputation, play a definitive role in his career path?
Did Hitler have certain political role models, or powerholders who took him on as a protegé?
Did he do what he did because he was imbued with nationalist, racist or antisemitic ideology?
Did Hitler's popular acclaim among the German people egg him on to become what he did?
Was there some peculiar, pathological psychic cause that compelled him to make his life choices?
In April of 1945, Hitler moved into the Führerbunker, located 50 feet below the Chancellery buildings in Berlin. In this underground complex containing nearly thirty rooms on two separate floors, Hitler held daily briefings with his generals amid reports of the unstoppable Soviet advance into Berlin. He issued frantic orders to defend Berlin with armies that were already wiped out or were making a hasty retreat westward to surrender to the Americans. Hitler shot himself in his head in the right temple while his wife Eva died from drinking poison(which Hitler gave to her). Hitler hadtested the poison on his favorite dog. It worked perfectly!! Then, after they were dead two of Hitler's friends carried him and his wife to Chancellery garden. There they poured gasoline on Hitler and burned his body with his wife. The remains were buried in a shell crater. (It was less digging.)
Hitler was born in Austria in 1889. His father was 23 years older than his mother. His father died in 1903 and his mother died 4 years later. Hitler joined the miltary in World War I. During World War II he publicly burned thousands of books written by Jewish, Marxist and other subversive people on May 10 1933. Hitler ordered the deaths of more than 46 million Europeans.
There was an assassination attempt on Hitler's life called Operation Valkyrie in 1994 which failed because of a wooden table leg. A bomb was placed by the Germans who wanted to assassinate Hitler. It was placed under the table where Hitler was hosting a meeting.The bomb went off but sadly, a Colonel moved the bombed brief case to the other side of a table leg. The explosion killed The Colonel and three other men but the explosion was deflected from Hitler by the table leg. Hitler was injured in the right arm by the bomb. The bomb shredded his pants!Colonel Claus Von Staffenberg, the rebel leader, was instrumental in this assassination attempt. He was the officer that planted the bomb that injured Hitler and killed four Nazi officers. The Nazi's were getting very close to finding out who the rebels were. The rebels led by Colonel Staffenberg were getting desperate and one of them said "The assassination must be attempted, whatever the cost." http://www.mikekemble.com/ww2/hitler.html
In the end of Hitler's life he went into a rage the likes of his officers had never seen before. Hitler had had many outbursts in his lifetime but according to his officers this was the worst. This rage was about Hitler's plan to eliminate the Soviets failing because the counterattack he ordered had never been carried out by the SS.
The plot was developed as a modification of Operation Valkyrie (Unternehmen Walküre), which was approved by Hitler for use if Allied bombing of German cities or an uprising of forced laborers from occupied countries working in German factories resulted in a breakdown in law and order. Members of the Reserve Army, including members of the Kreisau Circle, modified the plan and decided to assassinate Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goering and Heinrich Himmler. Afterward, they planned for troops in Berlin to seize key government buildings, telephone and signal centers and radio stations. Hitler's death was required to free German soldiers from their oath of loyalty to him. Operation Valkyrie was meant to give the plotters control over the government so they could make peace with the Allies and end the war.
